Hi. I’m Doctor Ilene.

I am a psychotherapist, writer, professor, and most importantly, a mother. I am an award winning author that regularly contributes to psychology publications such as Psychology Today, Psych Central and Tiny Buddha. My books, blog, and private psychotherapy practice in Florida are fueled by my passion for helping others live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I am committed to helping others meet their goals, build a stronger sense of self, and most importantly live life on their own terms, happily.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
